I purchased the set of "Betsy-Tacy" books for my grand-niece who is nine years old. They are great books for an early grade schooler. The setting is the 1920s, but the story of lasting friendship is timeless. My daughters read these books twenty years ago, and still love them. I'm so glad I found them through your website.
